Noise when cornering



  Clio 182
Right I had a quick search and couldn't seem to find anything

was driving my 182 today no problems then I picked my mate up next minuet I'm getting a sort of squeal when cornering seems to be coming from front left I think (still makes noise even when it's just me in the car now)
it only seems to do it going round tighter corners (roundabouts ect) it almost sounds like tyre squeal but I don't have to be going overly fast for it to make noise
It dosnt sound like a belt squeal tho
It doesn't feel like its skipping at all or under steering
It's a 182 it's on ktr coilovers and its got toyo t1-r's all round

any ideas at all?
​Any help would be appreciated

Well mate this is interesting... I have the same thing (only on tight corners etc.) and I'm also on K-Tec coilovers, and it's only been happening since I've had them on. I've been in contact with K-Tec and they reckon there's no chance it's the coilovers. I'm not convinced, they said to get new bushes on there.

It's probably on the bumper brackets, because the suspension is so s**t and so crashy that there is more travel than there should be

I have had my coilovers on a few months now and not had any problems till now I don't think it's the bumper brackets but I will check again
My coilovers were causing it to scrape when I first fitted them but I had a fiddle round with things and has no problems since (till now lol)

Just been out again in it now and it only dose it when turning left ! Lol
how on the very outside edge of the tyre there dose seem to be some sign if wearing slightly and also a very fine line engraved in the tyre
​possible running on wing? Or bumper?

That link isn't working for me, just a blank page. I'll try to get a recording of mine too... it only happens for me when turning left as well!

cant see then vid... but i had a problem with mine when i fitted my vmaxx coilovers. thought it was the wheel catching the body at first but it turned out that the problem was too much camber was dialled in and the driveshafts were taking a hammering when turning to a certain point. in a straight line it was fine but turn the wheel to a certain point and it sounded awful and felt terrible through the steering wheel aswell. dialled the wheel with opp camber and it was sorted.

edit... just got the vid working... didnt sound like that but worth checking anyway :-/
